Duration, renewal and alteration of registered trade mark

I144 Alteration of registered trade mark.

1

A registered trade mark shall not be altered in the register, during the period of registration or on renewal.

Nevertheless, the registrar may, at the request of the proprietor, allow the alteration of a registered trade mark where the mark includes the proprietor’s name or address and the alteration is limited to alteration of that name or address and does not substantially affect the identity of the mark.

3

Provision shall be made by rules for the publication of any such alteration and the making of objections by any person claiming to be affected by it.
